Go with an immutable distribution, something like CoreOS. Then run everything in containers.

Major version upgrades have less risk of breaking, while rollbacks become an option. And the attack surface is lower.

Attack surface will be sum of CoreOS surface and surface of containers. It can be lower only if surface of containers will be negative. :-/
